Deep breathing, mindfulness, and meditation can help keep your digestive system calm and running smoothly, which in turn reduces the chances of recurring bloating.

"In addition, deep breathing and mindfulness can help slow down your eating at meals, and that can also help to reduce bloating because you'll likely swallow less air if you eat more slowly, chew thoroughly, and take deep breaths between bites."

Don't worry if you've never meditated a day in your life. Start off with an easy approach: first thing in the morning, sip on a hot cup of tea, breathe deeply, and set an intention for your day. Try it every single day, for five to 10 minutes, for a week and see if you notice a sense of calmness that resonates to your belly.
